What Am i Thankful For?
In Thanksgiving there're many things to be thankful for. One of the things i am thankful is for being present in such a great holiday, for having the opportunity to share the wealth and the love, having the Family i have today Brothers and Sisters.
I am also thankful for my health, my learning, and the food i sit down to eat that didn't came from me. Came from hard work/wealth from other people, so i demonstrate pleasure to be enjoying such a wonderful with my friends and family. And i am also thankful for the friends i have today, for those who care about me, for those who look up to me, for those who have hope in me, and that's why I’m thankful. And i want you to think the way i do, not to show hate but to show dignity and respect.
Thank You.
There are 2 things I’m thankful for. One thing I’m thankful for is my family, the reason is that my family has been taking care of me very well and they have been buying me what I need for the winter, because they love me and they don’t want me to get sick. And another thing I’m more thankful for is being able to spend another years with them eating turkey, because I had never had a Thanksgiving with them because my father was in Boston, since I came here I have been spending thanksgiving with my family.
if sdsd that would be frank ok
